Can the van park in Aldershot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Put bins near the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first

Evening food typically goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
